He Didn't Praise the Bride.

They have a preacher over in New
York whom all the women want to
scalp. Anew days ago he officiated at
a wedding held in a private house, but
nevertheless largely attended. The
groom. it appears, was personal
friend of the preacher, and after the
ceremony proper had been performed
the latter awaited himself of his pro-
fessional license and read the happy
pair lecture on how to be happy
though married. He dwelt especially
on the high honor which the groom
had conferred on the bride by select
ing her from among so many women
OF his acquaintance to be the one OBJ
ject of his magnificent love. It was g.
fine compliment. he said, noble com.
pliment, a compliment, indeed, which
could not be described in words. The
feminine friends Of the bride listened
to this touching little outburst OF SEN
timent with rather immovable faces,
mentally resolving to smile when the
preacher grew eloquent in praise of
the compliment shown by the bride to
the groom. But strange to say, his
duty in this direction was not discharg-
ed. With self.satis6ed smile on his
benign visage he ceased speaking when
he had praised the groom, and the
Misunderstanding and congratulations be.

could have he'd just as good a hus.
band if she had picked another of her
admirers, of whom she had fully as
many as the young man had ex. sweet
hearts. At any rate, knowing what
hideous things men really are, they
don't believe in this exeitation OF him
by his fellows, deeming, as one of them
put it, the vine as good as the oak,
anyhow"

The London Times states that a.
scheme for the erection of g. bridge
over the English channel is in active
consideration among French capital
lists and engineers. The projected bridge
would be % miles long, resting on
piers of concrete and masonry 100
feet long by 100 broad, placed at in
tervals OF $50 yards. The causeway
OF the bridge would be 100 feet above
the sea level. to permit the passage Of
ships, and would be 100 feet vide.
The estimated cost is 5000, 900, 900.
It appears that the channel is not 80

are shadows out from Folkestone not
over 20 teet from the surface, the
depth from these shadows to the shore
on either side varying from 100 to
100 lot.

A Novel Scrap.Book.

1 am reminded writes C. NJ. Skinner,
In the November Book Buyer, in speak
ing OF extra illustrations, that scrap
book may be made q thing of beauty
that will put to shame the rarest of
editions de luxe. Only the practiced
inlayer OF plates should undertake it's
preparation to insure this result, but
in its diversity of theme and treat
ment, it has a more general interest
than the biography or book of criti-
cism that is the usual subject for pic
torlal enlargement. Travellers scrap
books are especially entertaining.
One young gentleman made a running
record OF his foreign tour III letters to
his ''folks" that he sprinkled with pen
sketches. and bound it in volume on
his return. A wealthy gentleman in
Brooklyn, who travels far and often,
makes a pictorial record of each trip
IN the form of a book or books filled
with photographs of places and things
that he has seen. His last journey
among the effete despotisms is memoir
ialized in three portly volumes, bound
in crimson morocco and containing in
the order of their viewing all the
sights of moment visited in his Jour-
ney. Another tourist made history
of his European travels in letters to-
newspapers, and these letters have
been clipped out, pasted in double COL
umns on heavy paper, neatly border
cd With black lines, and interspersed
with 400 illustrations and addsnda
carefully inlaid. some of the smaller
pictures serving as tail pieces to the
letters. The illustrations embrace
photographs, photographers, litho;
graphs, wood cuts, etchings, steel enl
cravings. pen and pencil drawings, and
represent distinguished people who!
were seen and celebrated pictures in;
the museums, as we'll as places Of
scientific and historic interest. Such
curiosities as hotel bills and theatre
programmes are also included. The
volume is q quarto, nearly a. bulky as

Plain Talk For Young A9esI-
From Work and Wealth.
A young man nicely brushed up and
very genteel, entered an Office, aud

reply. "Here are my recommended

handed q paper certifying that he was
worthy Of confidence. etc. The gentle
man read tho paper, and looked up.

pected to dor" asked the young man.
ITO aid in the office as opportunity

~ don't think collecting drafts would
agree with my feelings" replied the
young man. ';Weli," quietly respond
ed the gentleman, II would not ad-

is nothing dishonorable. What can
be less against all true and worthy
feeling than the collection of drafts2
What is there to soil glove or fingers,
sensibility or consciousness? Many
young and talented persons miss the
road to fortune by the want of humil-,
ity and patience. They think every
thing must depend on "a good start"
and unless they can make good
engagement" they will remain out of
employment for weeks and months
They miss three things-support for
that time, the practice that keeps tai
ents improving and the furnishing OF
the best evidence that they are willing
to work. They forget that any situa-
ton of honest toll is good when COM
pared with idleness. The trouble with
many young men IS a foolish pride
which seems to say that idleness is
more honorable than work.

Quinine Stimulation.


ut is a bad habit for q man to slim.
ulate himself with quinine," said a
prominent physician recently. "Not
as bad as the morphine or choral
habits. of course, but decidedly rep-
rehensible. Brain workers have dis
covered that from three to FIVE grains
of quinine will within four hours
brighten them up wonderfully, but
it's like squirting q tired horse. The
dose after awhile does not seem suf1i-
Gent, and they increase it until they
are taking febrifuge dose and there
by upsetting their nervous system.
There are numerous preparations
containing phosphorus, which have q
wonderfully stimulating effect on the
brain, but in time it's tissue must be.
come affected. Plenty of sleep, digest.
IDLE food, abstinence from alcohol
and occasional rtlaxations from work
altogether will keep man alive long
er and his faculties in better trim than
all tho forces in tho world"

The Prodigaf Sons Sister,

buO V6OOS6oS 0OSF = 0uSlSSs
''Texas Siftings" seems to have TAX
en- to reading the bible, and thinks the
prodieal son story should be amend
ed by adding something about the
prodigal's sister:
We read about theprodigal son. and
the prodigal sons father and BROTHER,
but no mention is made OF the prodigal
sons sister. Ofcourse, he had a sister,:
most prodigal sons have. And some
times they entertain a great affection:
for the wild, hayward boy. which no.
amount of reckless conduct can wholly
estrange. And the respect and love
in which the prodigal holds that sis
ter is often the one redeeming trait in
his character. He angrily resents the
mention fher name among ribald
and profigate companions should
such a thing occur, and he would
as soon think OF presenting the
evil one to her as one OF them. In
stead of angrily upbraiding him for
his irregularities, as his father does,
or scornfully alluding to them in q
manner peculiar to a moral and highly
respectable brother, she demonstrates
with him gently, and endeavors to win
him back to virtues ways through
the tender influence of sisters love.
He may not seem to heed her at the
time, but perhaps good seed is sown
that may sprout bene fcially IN
after years. Who knows how much
his recollections of sister at home,
good and pure, may have aided In
bringing the prodigal back to his ia
theirs house, meek and repentant.-
True, there is no record OF her having
rushed out to meet and embrace him..
but perhaps she was married and liv-
ing in another part of the country.
Had she been at home her sisterly i'll
stinct would have been the first to rec
ognize him in his tramp's disguise,
and she would have outdone even
her fathers greeting.

instruction in the use OF tools is
about to be introduced in all the pri-
mary schools of France. It has al.
ready been introduced in many, and
has been successfully tried at such
schools in Manchester. in England.
1t is found that the use of tools fur.
nishes an agreeable relaxation. Ap-

next higher grade, are taking the place
